Dear Librarians,

The last thing scrapbooking maven Carmela Bertrand expected to bear witness to in St. Tristan's Church was a crime. But now a beloved member of her scrapbooking circle is dead — and a mysterious hooded figure has absconded with an antique crucifix.

With the church, a popular New Orleans tourist site, pretty much open to the public, it looks like the police don't have a prayer of finding the killer. Good thing amateur sleuth Carmela and her voodoo shop-owning friend Ava are hot on the trail of suspects that range from the strange Brother Paul to the cult group The Seekers. Combing New Orleans for clues, they end up in a bayou at midnight - stalked by an enraged killer!

A cross between a cozy and a thriller — a thrillzy! — SKELETON LETTERS delivers great characters, action, humor, scrapbooking tips, and New Orleans recipes. Just in time for Halloween!
